When it comes to the temperature of a burnout furnace, several factors come into play.
4 Key Factors to Consider
1. Temperature Range During the Burnout Process
The temperature of a burnout furnace typically ranges from approximately 1600°F (850°C) to higher temperatures as needed.
This range depends on the specific furnace design and the materials being processed.
2. Manual vs. Automated Systems
Older furnaces might require manual adjustment to lower the temperature to around 1600°F (850°C) before initiating the burnout process.
This process involves blowing air into the furnace to ignite and burn out carbon from the refractory brick.
It usually takes about two to three hours.
Modern furnaces, on the other hand, often include automated burnout systems that can be programmed to manage the burnout process without manual intervention.
These furnaces are typically capable of reaching higher temperatures, with some models designed to operate up to 2650°F (1450°C).
3. Temperature Uniformity
The temperature uniformity within the furnace is also a critical factor, especially for processes that require precise temperature control.
Furnaces are designed to maintain a specific temperature range across their operating zones.
Tighter tolerances are required for higher temperature classes as defined by standards like AMS 2750D.
For example, a furnace might maintain a temperature uniformity of +/- 10°F (5.5°C) within the range of 900-2500°F (480-1370°C), conforming to Class 2 specifications.
4. Variability Based on Furnace Type and Process Requirements
The temperature of a burnout furnace can vary significantly based on the furnace type, the specific process requirements, and the materials being processed.
The burnout process itself generally operates at temperatures around 1600°F (850°C).
However, modern furnaces can reach much higher temperatures if needed, with advanced systems ensuring precise temperature control and uniformity.
